Summary
#235. Sara Hastreiter is of course one of the members of Team SCA, the all-female crew in the previous edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. Sara was on the podcast back in 2015, immediately following that Volvo to talk about how she went from horseback riding in Wyoming to sailing in one of the world's premier ocean races. I got to speak with her again in March about what it felt like to be left off the Volvo race this time, her mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas and her 'Seven Seas, Seven Summits' project, speaking at the Explorer's Club in New York, continuing to race on multihulls around the world, and her goals to inspire young people to follow their dreams.
On the Wind is presented by Rutgerson Marin. And also supported by Adlard Coles, and Weems & Plath.
